Hateful royal baller King Washington is ready to rule in this trailer for the first story DLC from "Assassin's Creed III."

"The Tyranny of King Washington," if you'll recall, is the Animus' alternate reality take on the conclusion of the Revolutionary War, based, in part, it seems on the folk legend that General Washington at one time rejected pleas from his fellow Americans to reign as King of the new nation. It looks here like he's seized the role with gusto and lots of bling (along with what appears to be one of the contested artifacts at the heart of "Assassin's Creed" mythos).

No gameplay to be seen here, but we do get a glimpse of Connor in his new, more wilderness-oriented threads.

For the record, every time this DLC comes up, this clip immediately comes to mind:

Ubisoft still hasn't revealed the release date for the "Tyranny of King Washington" DLC or standalone pricing, but you could always spend the 2400 MS Points/$29.99 for the season pass and get it at a discount.
